Title: Consideration and possible approval to purchase paint and paint products from Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions in the amount of $30,700.50.
Petitioner/Presenter: Neil C. Krutz, P.E., Deputy City Manager/Dan Hamlin, Maintenance & Operations Manager
Recommendation: Staff recommends purchasing paint and paint products from Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions.
Financial Impact: $30,700.50 will be charged to and is available in Account 603470 Paint, Program 130520 Public Works Capital Projects Fund 1401. The FY13 CIP has been amended to move $50,000 from CIP 13-0519 Road Surfacing Materials to 13-0520 Traffic Paint Materials to cover part of these costs.
Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
    
A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.
Agenda Item Brief: This item proposes the purchase of paint and paint products from Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions that will be used for the purpose of restriping area streets. Staff recommends approval of this purchase.


Background: Ennis traffic paint is the product used in the long line striping process when performing maintenance on city streets. This product has proven to give the City the best performance compared with similar products on the market. The Maintenance Division estimates the amount of the product needed to complete the work for the season, and purchases accordingly.

Analysis: The paint will be purchased through the State of Nevada DOT contract. By joining the State, the City gains the savings advantage of high volume purchasing while foregoing the need to formally bid the item. The City would be using the joinder provision allowed under NRS 332.195. The State of Nevada bid has historically been the most competitive.

Alternatives: 1. Council could approve this purchase as outlined above by staff. 2. Council could deny the request. 3. Council could direct staff to provide alternatives to this purchase.

Recommended Motion: : I move to approve the purchase of paint and paint products from Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions in the amount of 30,700.50.
